Artículo WikipediaFuente Dbpedia

Ranjana Khanna is a literary critic and theorist widely recognized for her interdisciplinary, feminist and internationalist contributions to the fields of post-colonial studies, feminist theory, literature and political philosophy. She is best known for her work on melancholia and psychoanalysis, but has also published extensively on questions of post-colonial agency, film, Algeria, area studies, autobiography, Marxism, the visual and feminist theory. She received her Ph. D in 1993 from the University of York. She has taught at the University of Washington in Seattle and at the University of Utah, and in 2000 began teaching at Duke University, where she is the Margaret Taylor Smith Director of Women’s Studies, and Professor of English, Literature and Women’s Studies. The originality of her thinking and her careful engagement with and close readings of diverse thinkers such as Derrida, Irigaray, Kant, Marx, Heidegger, Beauvoir, Spivak and others is particularly evident in her theorizations of subjectivity and sovereignty in her recent work on disposability, indignity, and on the concept and practice of asylum.
